Blogger Michael Halcomb Makes New Da Vinci Discovery

Dan Brown's Da Vinci discovery was only the start of miraculous things found in the painting. Following Brown, the Italian computer guru Slavisa Pesci claimed to find hidden persons in the picture. I poked fun at that claim in a post titled Da Vinci Againci . Following Pesci, and just days ago, another Italian (what is it with these Italians?), this time a musician named Pala , has found a musical score in the painting. Wow :) But what about me? What about my discovery? Why has it not been promoted? Here's how my discovery came about: I went to Rome, photographed the painting, came home and began to fiddle with it in Adobe Photoshop.

Anyways, I have posted a copy of the superimposed picture below for your enjoyment--you may need 3D eye-glasses or perhaps crossed-eyes to make sense of it all. Oh yeah, and if you're interested in reading more, clic...
